Medicai, a Romanian health-tech company specializing in medical imaging and patient intake software, took its message to the European Parliament during Romanian Digital Day. Co-founder Andrei Blaj participated in a panel on research and innovation, co-organized by ANIS and Innovation Labs, where he discussed how the company's platform is improving productivity in healthcare through artificial intelligence.
Blaj illustrated the impact with a common oncology scenario: a patient arriving at a public hospital with a printed file of roughly 100 pages. Traditionally, a doctor or resident must read the entire file to reconstruct the patient's history. With Medicai, the file is scanned at reception, organized chronologically, labeled by document type (e.g., imaging report, biopsy), and enriched with key extracted information such as diagnosis, staging, and treatments administered. This feature, introduced four months ago, is now used at 10 hospitals, processing thousands of patient files each month. In one case, a physician estimated saving roughly five hours of manual review for a single patient.
Medicai currently serves more than 100 healthcare organizations across the EU and the US, supporting care for over 3 million patients, with a focus on imaging-heavy specialties like oncology, neurology, orthopedics, and radiology. "Today, a doctor often has to read a hundred pages and rebuild a patient's history by hand. We turn that into minutes, so clinicians get that time back for care," said Blaj. "That is exactly the conversation Europe needs about bringing private innovation into public healthcare."
The panel, opened by Corina Vasile, Executive Director of ANIS, and Razvan Rughinis, Co-founder of Innovation Labs, addressed how research, academia-industry collaboration, and public policy can build a more competitive European technology sector. Medicai's presence at the event underscores the growing role of health-tech startups in transforming public health systems.
